Dr Karan Explores · Endometriosis Surgeon Explains What Everyone Gets Wrong - Dr Lora Liu · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

The the thing you mentioned about heating, obviously heat provides some degree of analgesic effect and pain relieving effect for many patients. voice-verified

But often I've seen over the years when I've seen a young woman with abdominal pain come in for a surgical assessment, they've got this classic erythema ab ignee rash, this heat rash because they've likely put some sort of voice-verified

heating cushion or heating pillow on there for a prolonged period of time and it's actually caused, you know, these burn marks on them on, you know, either their abdomen, their back, or their their pelvis. voice-verified

How often do you see that? voice-verified

And like how pathneumonic is that of a sign where you can say, Okay, this person's got endometriosis or something chronic in their pelvis? voice-verified

I think coming back full circle to this idea of how do we diagnose people earlier and how do we intervene earlier and find better therapies, it comes back to the question we topic we discussed a bit earlier in the conversation about voice-verified

And, you know, this year we saw the results of the largest genetic study of endometriosis. voice-verified

Not just about painful periods. voice-verified

But now, because of this data, we're beginning to see that real scientific proof that there are immune genetic components, inflammatory genetic components, vascular risk factors, all of these interesting and important things, hormones that we've known about for a long time. voice-verified

But also we've seen overlaps with endometriosis and other chronic diseases. voice-verified

Like migraines, fatigue, fibromyalgia phenotypes, adenomyosis, and endometriosis crossover. voice-verified
